Have you ever skied a ski that underwhelms you to the point you have no review pictures? If so, you've come to the right place-- though I will add it's notoriously difficult to film yourself skiing alone while on lunch breaks. This is the Icelantic Shaman 2.0 - 99.
Ski: Icelantic Shaman 2.0 -...
Newschoolers has gender problems. We know this, the site jokes that its userbase is full of 12 year old boys, with the rare pink name thrown in. Threads frequently pop up asking why some women use a blue name, why is park a boy’s club, women’s skiing is boring, and my favorite, why can’t men...
Jack Price is possibly my favorite young (ish) skier in Montana. He's got style and enough guts to throw things my friends wouldn't even consider doing. Jack was kind enough to give a blurb about him, send over some pictures, and drop his season edit on NS. He's proof that Big Sky country has...
It's the finals for the Red Bull Bracket Reel Snow, if you don't know what this is, Red Bull describes it as, "Each week, teams will face off, creating their own unique video. The team with the most votes on the competition site advances to the next round. After four brutal rounds of...
This season, I'm focusing on up and coming skiers. The guys you should know of, but don't. If you don't know who Dean is, you do now. Dean has been a strong presence in the comp scene this past year, with innovative tricks and absolute style. I got to know the basics, and hope to follow up with...
This season, I'm focusing on up and coming skiers. The guys you should know of, but don't. To kick this thing off, I'd like to introduce NS to Tom Nelner. I met Tom at WCS10, and was stoked on his rail game, and skateboarding skills. Check out the fact drop below
Who are you?
Tom Nelner, I'm...
It may have been cold and rainy, but Level 1 brought the heat last night. With a packed lobby, athletes held an autograph session, keeping people out of the storm. This provided the opportunity for locals to meet their skiing idols. Bozeman certainly knows how to party, and nothing is as rowdy...
With more snow in the forecast, Montana’s preseason is already going off. Last Friday David Steele hiked up Comeau Pass in Glacier National Park for the first turns on some fresh snow. Hayden Brown skied part of Sacajawea Peak in Bozeman. Fairy Lake is being scouted out, and there are reports...
Note: A La Niña occurs when sea surface temperatures in the central Pacific Ocean drop to lower-than-normal levels. La Niña typically brings above average precipitation and cool weather to the Pacific Northwest. This pattern extends through the Intermountain West, and into parts of the Great...
As we all know, WCS is done forever. Over the next few weeks, content will be rolling out, and skiers will be able to experience the final offer via edits and more. I was lucky enough to be I handling social media during the event- giving me several opportunities to see exactly how events like...
Welcome back to History of Skiing. If you haven't read Part One, get caught up here.
We ended last time in 750 A.D. with the short, wide Finnish ski. Jumping to 1600, the Norwegians begin using pairs of skis made of different heights. One is long for gliding, the other short and covered in fur...
Welcome to 2016 Newschoolers! It’s a new year, so that means it’s time to learn new things. This year I’m tackling the origin of skiing, from its roots to the current state. We’re going all the way back to 8,000 B.C. in order to find the earliest depictions of skiing.
Via National Geographic...
Meet Mingg, a Pinkname who's well discussed on Newschooelers. Her name is dropped in threads, on the NS Army Facebook page, and even in conversations. So, who is she, and what are her thoughts on skiing?
First, it’d be great if you could introduce yourself and tell us a little bit about you...
Spring time means spring skiing, if your hill is still open. (sorry East Coast) Before you make the great migration to Hood this summer, take some time to stack up on snacks- and start thinking about what can power you thru the day on the mahalo volcano. Nutrition is important, you need food (or...
Superunknown XIII is underway, and the boys over at Level 1 have just released the Wild Card selections. They have a poll of 15 skiers and YOU decide who advances to the finals in the 10th spot! Superunknown is the culmination of hard work, and usually a season's worth of practice to create the...
